North Korea rejects UN human rights report as 'lies and fabrications'

North Korea on Saturday rejected the findings of a UN panel, which accused the state of crimes against humanity that evoked Nazi-era atrocities, saying they were based on "lies and fabrications deliberately cooked up by hostile forces and riff-raffs."

The North's foreign ministry said it categorically rejects the report by the UN Commission of Inquiry, which it said was "set up the US and its satellite forces out of inveterate repugnance towards the DPRK." (Reuters)
